Hernán Bermúdez Files Amparo to Block Second Federal Arrest Warrant

A federal court set an Oct. 7 hearing on his challenge after admitting the case.

Overview

  • Bermúdez filed the amparo on Sept. 25 to contest a second warrant for organized crime and aggravated kidnapping, and the Fourth District Court in the State of Mexico opened a suspension proceeding.
  • The court has not disclosed whether a provisional suspension was granted, and the FGR has not executed the Sept. 17 warrant issued by control judge Mario Elizondo Martínez.
  • A separate ruling by Judge Manelic Delón Vázquez in Tabasco granted a definitive suspension that bars authorities from seizing or disposing of Bermúdez’s home.
  • The former Tabasco security chief remains held at the Altiplano maximum‑security prison after being bound over on Sept. 23 for association, aggravated extortion, and aggravated kidnapping, with a three‑month period for complementary investigation to Dec. 23.
  • He was detained in Paraguay and returned to Mexico in a joint operation involving the CNI, SEDENA, SEMAR, FGR, the National Guard, and the SSPC.
